Toys

The band was formed in 2010 in Brighton by schoolfriends and former Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong

The Toys were discovered at a talent show by manager Vince Marc, who introduced them to songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell. Linzer and Randell wrote most of the songs recorded by them, including their U.S. #2 hit single "A Lover's Concerto", and also produced the group's 1965-66 recordings on Bob Crewe's DynoVoice record label.

Global sales of this disc exceeded two million copies, with a gold record awarded by the R.I.A.A. in 1965.Their first U.S. tour was with Gene Pitney.
In 1967 the group changed labels and producers, but charted only one more minor single (a cover of Brian Hyland's "Sealed with a Kiss") before breaking up.
The Toys appeared on most of the major TV rock programs, including Shindig!, Hullabaloo, and American Bandstand. They also had a cameo role in the 1967 beach movie It's a Bikini World.

Lyrics:

How gentle is the rain that falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up in the trees serenade the clouds with their melodies

Oh, see there beyond the hill, the bright colours of the rainbow.
Some magic from above made this day for us just to fall in love

Now I belong to you from this day until forever,
Just love me tenderly and I'll give to you every part of me.

Oh, don't ever make me cry through long lonely nights without love.
Be always true to me, keep this day in your heart eternally.
Some day we shall return to this place upon the meadow.
We'll walk out in the rain, see the birds above singing once again.

Oh, you hold me in your arms, and say once again you love me,
And if your love is true, everything will be just as wonderful.

You'll hold me in your arms, and say once again you love me,
And if your love is true, everything will be just as wonderful.
